Your enrichment
We know that our camp students want to get different things out of their English study experience. Because of this, we offer a variety of ways for students to enrich their language learning.
Discovery theme: Cambridge University
Two of our Cambridge summer camps for teenagers offer a taste of English further education. Sir Christopher and Sir Laurence are located in prestigious Cambridge University colleges. Consequently, these camps are rare opportunities to learn more about the university and traditional Cambridge student life.
Your English lessons focus on a combination of communication development and themed topics on Cambridge University’s history and culture. Themed lesson topics include famous Cambridge students, sporting traditions, scientific discoveries, the university’s unique history, and a comparison of Cambridge with other elite universities around the world.
University Discovery activities include guided tours of “hidden” Cambridge, mythbusting – true and false myths about Cambridge, Cambridge University treasure hunt and a Cambridge University selfie challenge.
Although our courses are not endorsed by the University of Cambridge, our summer camp uses University of Cambridge colleges and facilities.
Life skills
Life skills lessons are part of the Sir George camp programme. During life skills, students will discuss problems and difficult situations associated with modern life that many teenagers around the world are facing today or will face in their future. They will compare how they and their friends deal with problems and hear what their classmates do in their countries. Students will be presented with strategies and we hope that by talking them over, they will be better equipped to overcome future challenges. The areas covered are sometimes not covered in traditional education, such as:
1 How to be a successful teenager
2 Leadership
3 Global Issues
4 People from around the world
5 How to survive modern life
6 Relationships
7 Technology and business
8 Solving problems and teamwork
